Stacey DaPrato

Stacey DaPrato is a Certified Health and Life Coach. She is also a Certified Trainer for the CIJ Clarity Catalyst, a course from Stanford University on mindfulness and creating your best life. She teaches the kids and teens course, CIJ Insight for Life, as well. She has a Masters in Training & Development and a Bachelors in Psychology and Music from Northern Michigan University. She currently lives in Babcock Ranch, FL with her husband Brandon and their daughter Lucy.

Stacey has had her share of health struggles - she was morbidly obese, despite "trying everything", and also took several medications to assist with depression, anxiety, bipolar 1, and ADHD. She set out on a mission to learn what exactly she was putting in her mouth and to figure out why she kept gaining weight and feeling awful despite doing her best. What she learned about the food industry is shocking. She discovered that in order for the body to truly heal and feel its best, we need to be putting the right fuel in the "tank". After just a few months of removing non-productive non-foods from her body, Stacey looked and felt better than she had in years. She no longer needs any medications to function, and is happier than she's ever been.

When searching for her purpose, Stacey felt guided to share what she learned with others, and help pull people out of the fire, so-to-speak. She trained to become a health coach, and wrote a children's book titled "Yummy Colors!" to help get children excited about eating healthy food. Being healthy starts at home, especially as a child, and Stacey really feels drawn to teaching children and helping them understand that what goes into our bodies truly does matter, and we do not have to succumb to a life of dis-ease if we treat our bodies right!
